SparX S-07 motorcycle helmet

Reviews of this new brand of motorcycle helmet are basically the same. The SparX brand of helmet is a cheaper or discounted brand introduced by KBC motorcycle helmet company. KBC did this because they realize not all motorcycle riders have the money to spend for a KBC helmet, which can cost a few hundred dollars. The SparX S-07 costs one hundred, forty dollars for the modle with a graphics paint job and one hundred, nine dollars for a helmet with solid colors. This is a very reasonable price but just how good is this China made motorcycle helmet? Yes, to save costs so they could sell the spar brand so cheap KBC sent the manufacturing of the new motorcycle helmet to China. KBC need to do this to compete in the $150 and less motorcycle helmet market that has exploded in America in the last few years.

The Spar helmet is DOT approved as well as ECE approved and has a five year warranty.And how about this innovative feature---if you crash your motorcycle while wearing the SparX helmet you can send the helmet along with the police report of your wreck back to SparX and they will send you a new one for free. Now that is a nice deal!

The reviews I have been reading give the SparX helmet a good overall rating. The selection of different colors and graphics is large with the Retro Corsa being a very nice graphic for the helmet and a great match for owners of the GT1000 and other MotoGuzzi and Ducati riders. A couple reviews stated the new SparX helmet is is a higher quality and better made than the KBC motorcycle helmets! I am sure KBC likes to hear this!The liner is very comfortable and fits very well. The breath guard is not in the riders way and the fit and finish is excellent. One item about the new helmet that appears to be a slight irritation is the visor. while the visor fits perfectly the tab is too small for riders wearing gloves and the visor removal is not very refined but is not really a big problem.

The fit of the SparX helmet is very good and if you are thinking of buying one keep in mind the size runs about one size smaller than normal. Air flow through the top vents is decent and the vents do not have any moving parts so you do not need to worry about anything coming loose and fling off. The new SparX S-07 motorcycle helmet is classed as a lightweight helmet and this lends to a nicely balanced motorcycle helmet you can wear for long rides without neck strain. Noise levels while wearing the helmet are rated as lower than most helmet, even when compared to more expensive motorcycle helmets. The chin strap is padded ok and is secured with a generous plastic snap system. the shell of the SparX helmet is made of thermo composite and is equipped with the popular D-ring attachment system.

Conclusion and Summary. 

The new SparX S-07 motorcycle helmet is comfortable to wear with a very good fit. The range of solid colors and graphic designs is very good, so much so the helmet looks like a much more expensive motorcycle lid. The overall quality is excellent and the smooth finish on the outer shell provides for reduced noise levels. If I were in the market for a new motorcycle helmet I would give the SparX S-07 a good long look.

Invisible Bike Helmets Are Things That Exist Now

Invisible bike helmets sound like something out of Harry Potter, but no, they actually exist! Swedish entrepreneurs Anna Haupt and Terese Alstin began working on the game-changer in 2005, as part of their design master thesis. They wanted bikers to actually want to wear a helmet — no small task, since, as Terese put it "They're so bulky, like a hard mushroom on your head."

So, with the help of a few trauma experts, the duo invented a super smart collar (pictured above) with sensors that react to abnormal movements, inflating a hidden head-encompassing cushion at the first sign of an imminent fall.

Pretty amazing, right? Just think — this could be the end of helmet hair. See it in action
